MaryLea, I LOVE IT! I thought about doing the organs but thought it might be a bit much for the boy (almost 3)...although maybe not since he loves his "layers of the body" puzzle. I had started to brainstorm ways to do the organs--you came up with way better ones! I will definitely do this with the kids next year when the boy is a little bit older.

OMG! I think I'm gonna have to do this with my son! We recently went to a local museum, and they had a room in the shape of a giant stomach that the kids could go into, and it made all sorts of disgusting stomach noises (farts and burps, etc.), which he loved of course! Ever since then, he has been obsessed with all things relating to the stomach! My husband and I have leftover Anatomy/Physiology books from college, and he loves looking through them and learning all the different organs and what they do. :) This would be a great activity for him! Thanks for the idea!

The body maps are cool, but I got sidetracked reading your story about your husband's brain tumor and how you met. That is so beautiful and so meant to be it just made me cry. I am so glad he is doing well and that you found each other.

Hi MaryLea! I am sooooo glad I stumbled across your blog!! I LOVE IT!! I have been running a dayhome for the past 7 years so new ideas are always needed! Such great tutorials and ideas! Thank you! Thank you!!

That is so cool. My dad was an anatomy teacher. He'd probably like to do this with the boys in a few years! I love the way you used a variety of textures and had your girls help you brainstorm those. Super cool.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Not only did this fit our human body homeschool studies, my kindergartener made her life sized body map as a science fair project. Her question How are sharks and humans alike? Different? and her accompanying project placed 1st in her age category and won the science fair overall! But most of all, we had such fun learning with this. Appreciate it. http://www.hodgepodge.me/2011/10/science-fair-and-art-show-results-kindergartener/

If you have other kid-friendly crafts, we'd love it if you would submit them. If you would like to display a featured button on your site, you can grab one from the right side bar of your post above. Thanks for a wonderful project idea!

Hello. I must have come upon this post of yours several times and the time just wasn't right for our family. Here I am again and still love this craft you all did so I posted it on my blog and linked back to your post here. Just wanted to let you know. Sincerely, Mommy of two growing blessings & so much more!
